Program
Semester 5 allows students to familiarize themselves with the world of entrepreneurship and innovation. They create an MVP and test an offering using no-code tools, conduct literature reviews, use startup-level English, develop their leadership and emotional intelligence, learn the fundamentals of corporate law, and identify different types of entrepreneurship. They generate and select viable ideas and build their business model.
Semester 6 focuses on the practical implementation and validation of the entrepreneurial project. Students conduct market research and validate a customer need, write and defend their entrepreneurship thesis, design and present a pitch deck in French and English, use advanced English to interact with investors, apply the fundamentals of tax law, build a financial forecast, and develop partnerships for their project.
Focus on Apprenticeships
For students choosing the work-study program, the schedule is either 2 days at school / 3 days at a company or 1 week at school / 2 weeks at a company. This format allows them to test entrepreneurial projects in a practical way and experience agile methodologies and innovation directly in the field.
Students can work on launching an MVP, testing offers, validating customer needs, negotiating with partners, preparing pitches for investors, and building performance tracking tools. This immersion fosters the development of operational and strategic skills in a real-world entrepreneurial environment.
